9: This week I speak with Diana Martin of Rodale Institute about regenerative organic agriculture and why it’s so important. The Rodale Institute is a non-profit organization that has been around since 1947.   They have the oldest organic and conventional farming side by side comparison trial in North America.  In addition to their studies, Rodale Institute helps farmers transition to organic and educates consumers on the impact they are having with their food dollars. We also discuss the solution to climate change, rising healthcare costs and the rise of lifestyle driven disease.Show Links: https://rodaleinstitute.org Rodale White Paper

2: Today's subject is something that I consider to be the most important topic when it comes to food and our health: Organic vs Conventional food.There is a lot of confusion around the subject so I brought on my friend Max Goldberg for a candid conversation to clear things up and make it more digestible.Max has been called “an organic sensation” by The New York Times and named as “one of the nation’s leading organic food experts” by Shape Magazine. Max is the Founder & Editor of Organic Insider, a newsletter read by many of the most influential CEOs in the industry today. He also runs the Organic Food Industry group on LinkedIn, which counts more than 25,000 members from around the world. Max received his BA from Brown University and his MBA from the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.Show Notes/Links:https://rodaleinstitute.org/Organic Insider: https://organicinsider.com/Living Maxwell: https://livingmaxwell.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingmaxwell/Organic Food Industry Group on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2697656/Rodale Institute study of organic vs conventional farming https://rodaleinstitute.org/science/farming-systems-trial/

1: Welcome to Episode 1 of The Realfoodolody Podcast!  I thought I’d start out this podcast giving you my background into how I got into health and ultimately pursued it as a career.  It started with childhood and an undergrad in communications.  I then took a detour through band tour managing with bands like 3OH!3, Third Eye Blind and Tove Lo which finally lead me to where I am today.  I'll be using my Masters of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate.  Let’s get back to real food!
